Happy Birthday
Hello crafters! Here is another really quick and easy birthday card for when you need one at the last minute. I used a large piece of white Yupo and streaked Alcohol inks across it diagonally. I used Raspberry, Pool, Citrus, Sunset Orange and sunshine Yellow Alcohol inks. Out of white gloss card, I cut the large balloon from the Birthday Balloon die set. I added it to the card with mounting foam, then used the Wishes Balloon Tail sentiment attached to it. I cut the Noble Happy Birthday and paper pieced it back on top. I used the Monochrome Paper Pad as accents to the top and bottom of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Amazing Sue absolutely amazing. The inks almost look 3D in part, some look slightly raised off the cardstock. Everything about this design makes me smile, it's so colourful, it's certainly cheerful and in my opinion it would be the star of the day. What a way to start the weekend. Keep well, happy and safe. Love to all xxx
Morning Sue, what a lovely bright and cheerful card. Do love using Yupo paper and alcohol inks. Love Jean xxx
Ps thank you to everyone who sent good wishes for my granddaughter Erin, she is still in pain and not showing any signs of improvement yet. Your thoughts and good wishes are really appreciated. xxx
Hello Sue This is a very colourful card that certainly stands out. Jean I hope your granddaughter recovers to be in pain is horrible. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful and very colourful card today, one which would be welcomed by everyone who was lucky enough to receive it. I must admit I have some Yuko paper but hve never used it, I might give this a try.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue, did you know it was my birthday today? I am claiming this card for myself anyway :-) I had hoped my prize die would arrive today, that would have made the day perfect but sadly not. As our post has been so erratic lately it could be anywhere :-( This card is so eye-catching with the vibrant colours I really like it, thank you.
